God's Promises

God keeps His promises, I keep my prayers,
I ask for bread, He will not give a stone,
I keep awake so not caught unawares
by God’s dear call, nor by the devil’s drone.
God keeps His promises, Our Lady said
in her magnificent Magnificat,
for humble, hungry poor, a lot of bread,
and finally heaven, better than Camelot.
God keeps His promises, believe the psalms,
on Judgment Day, the proud will reap the sword,
but for the humble there will be no qualms,
especially for the ones who fear the Lord.
The God Who keeps them for eternity
will faithfully keep His promises to me.
